US. Also going to Taiwan this end of October and wonder if it's cheaper to buy there.
Have you checked on Swappa? Saw a few under $600

No listings at swappa. Thanks for the tip though.
I got a discount code for $50 off the price and free shipping from HTC. So off the total price was $70. Shipped price was $799 plus tax.
Prices will be better come fall season.

I live in europe, but not in UK. Does anyone have ideas about how I should get my hands on the Nexus S, when it becomes available?
Any thoughts are most welcome
If you can wait, then sign up here: https://services.google.com/fb/forms/nexuss/
If you're in a hurry, then there are a few options:
1. Best Buy + delivery service like http://www.aramex.com/shopandship/default.aspx
2. eBay. Prices are about $730 now, I'd wait a bit.
3. Wait for somebody local to import a load of phones and sell on at higher price.
Carphone warehouse, vodafone contract only tho

I'm afraid but "Best Buy does not ship to known freight forwarders, and orders to such will be canceled."

Please inform us if you will recieve a phone ..
A lot of friends bought iPhone 4 in Apple store in other country and they recieved it via freight forwarders. It would be strange if Nexus S can be bought in this way, because they will only lower their sales.
According to this review, it will be available in EU in February and it will have lower price than Galaxy S i9000:
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/google-nexus-s-en.shtml
Also at that time Samsung will unveil i9100..

Huh. Disappointing, and smells of politics
Well, if BB don't want my money, then I will happily take it elsewhere. There might be an initial rush, but come January it will not be difficult to get one online, no matter where you live. Well, perhaps if you're on the ISS.
I think you can use site like MyUSABox (http://www.myusabox.com/), but personally I don't have experience with it. Don't know if anyone can comment about the site

Seems pretty unlikely.
I'm pretty sure they are unable to block credit cards by country.
If your credit card belongs to an established network (Visa or Mastercard for example), the payment should go through smoothly.
I'll be placing an order as soon as the Nexus S is in stock at best-buy.com, I'll keep you guys posted regarding the payment.

I find no mention of warranty anywhere at all at Google, eBay or Best Buy. US warranties tend to be short, so I'd guess a phone sold in Greece would have a longer warranty, but at a higher price.

That will probably never happen. If you could buy loads of stuff somewhere at $530, would you sell them on eBay at the same price?

There's an AT&T HTC One X on eBay that I wanna bid on, but I can't find the retail price of this phone anywhere. Amazon.com has it listed at $729.99, but that is ridiculous. I looked at wireless.att.com but they only show the upgrade price. Anyone have a better source?
It was listed at $549 without contract at my local store.

I can confirm $550. I work for AT&T and for Android phones, the no-contract price is generally the upgrade price plus $350.

My store (ATT in Sonora, CA) does have the one X on a kiosk, as well as some other beats junk. Played for it for a few minutes in the store, and I must say, It's smoooooth as silk my friend.
None of the stores around me have one on display. It really sucks.

Amazon also has it for $549 no contract also. It's best for some since they don't charge tax for certain states.
Go to their Amazon Wireless page. If you use their regular site, it will just list the marketplace price.

I must have been in the wrong place then because the page I saw said $729.99 and $149.99 on contact.
But yeah that's why I thought about eBay; even if I have to pay full price there won't be a $36 upgrade fee or taxes. I'll do Amazon if this auction gets outta hand, but right now it's only at $250 so we'll see.
It's under the Wireless Amazon site. Here is the white one

So they're completely lying about the list price to make it look as if they're saving you money.
Anyone know when we will be able to pre order the Galaxy S4 with BB?....

Just left my local Best Buy, pre-ordered a white S4 on AT&T for a $50 reservation!
Don't forget to attach your "Phone Freedom" or whatever it's called this year thing to save an easy $50, provided you signed up for it before February....
Also, they are accepting price matching from Amazon Wireless this year, they didn't for the SIII, I had to PM with Target last year as they luckily had it $50 off on launch day, brought the total for my SIII down to $100 the first day it was available! Hopefully someone will have it for $150 again this year....

you're welcome, from your AT&T S5 neighbor!:good:
Just bought my VZ GS5 at Best Buy this morning. I saw this offer on the Cotsco website and talked to the BB manager. They agreed to price match this offer by taking $100 off the phone. I coupled that with the $50 upgrade credit I registered with BB for in February and walked out with a $50 SG5.

Amazon's going for 99.99 too - but, not in stock.
I tried getting Best Buy to price match to Costco or to Amazon, but they'll only price match on in-stock items.
Great deal you got

Argh!!! I had to go through the Verizon help center agent, and she did try to help me by referring me to Best Buy and using their online purchasing system. I live 40 miles north of Tulsa and "running into the local cellphone store" is not on the bucket list.
guess I will have to be glad that all of the upgrade fees were revoked, Best Buy gave me a value card towards future purchase.... Didn't match your deal, but better than going online at Verizon.

I bought the Note 3 from Costco last year and they only charged me tax off the sale price of the phone. Hope this is still the case. I'm thinking about adding two lines and getting the S5 for my folks.
I'm in SoCal.

its a little trickier... they will only charge you the "sale" price but they also tax you on the sub price so tax is over 50 bucks.
just order it online.. est delivery for May 1 ..I also ordered one on Amazon but its est is for Jun... lets see who wins

I cancelled the Costco order because the Amazon order shipped and arrived already.. both had the same price.
if you don't want to wait I would look and see if Amazon still has them in stock.

I got mine (Gundam) from liaow. They're not the cheapest but reliable and great service.
Did you have to pay tax on top of the final price?
No - I'm in Canada.
